Where are they now - Daryl Smith

Nice props for D-Smith - link here.

The draft supposedly was light in linebackers. Most were raw prospects. Few were ready for rookie stardom. Bradway pulled away a prize in Jonathan Vilma, who will be make it hard for Sam Cowart to get back his starting job when his knee injury is completely healed by next week. Vilma, D.J. Williams of the Broncos, Daryl Smith of the Jaguars and Jason Babin of the Texas have clearly established themselves as the best rookie linebackers from this class.

Jacksonville has built its 4-2 start on the back of its defense, especially its new additions. Rookie linebacker Daryl Smith is a starter, as are free-agent signees Deon Grant at safety and Dewayne Washington at cornerback. The Jaguars have been aggressive so far with plenty of man-to-man coverages behind their pass rush.
